8 Ways to Stop Stressing Out Over Holiday Shopping

Does holiday shopping stress you out? Unfortunately, you’re not alone. About 41% of millennials are chronically stressed out about money, according to the better money habits millennial report from Bank of America.

While you can certainly feel exasperated with the idea for having to find and pay for gifts for everyone on your list regardless of which generation you fall in, it’s important not to let holiday shopping completely overwhelm you and ruin your holiday spirit.

In my article, I include some tips from experts regarding helpful ways to set expectations with loved ones during this time of year along with how to organize those pesky shopping receipts.

On the flip side, there is also some fear and worry that can be completely justified especially when considering risks like theft and fraud which is notoriously common during this time of year.

The key to eliminating stress surrounding these worries and risks is to prepare yourself ahead of time and slow down. Holiday sales can be tempting but realize retailers want to create scarcity to get you into the store quicker.

There will always be plenty of sales now and year-round so don’t feel pressured to run after every single discount and embrace the idea of slowing down and pacing yourself.

If you’re looking to plan strategically when it comes to holiday shopping this year and reduce stress especially when it comes to your finances, read the full article on U.S. News and World Report here.

With the launch of my book, I knew I wanted to focus on being a guest on multiple podcasts, so I reached out to Karen a few months beforehand. I had no doubt that she would get me booked for many podcast appearances. Within the first month of hiring Karen, I scheduled eight podcast interviews.

Outside of the podcast guest booking, what I didn’t know is how she would go above and beyond.The guidance she has provided me, from her podcast interview tips to pointers on delivering more value for the shows to how to be a better podcast guest in general, has been so golden and I can’t say enough about it!
